Between the four main forces of nature how can gravity be the weakest when gravity seems to govern the entire movement and attraction of mass within the universe. I know that more than 80% of the universes matter and more than 90% of its mass/energy is undetectable dark forces (dark matter and...

The mysteries of cosmology/astrophysics is what keeps the field interesting and fun. Without that element, there would be no point.

Nice. So I guess I'm on the right track. Now I hope I can stick with it! I was reading up on basic physics equations and formulas and I definitely have some brushing up to continue with lol.

I'm not sure if anyone knows what I mean by saying my desire is to hypothesis and experiment, and build upon the basis of other theorems. I wonder if majoring in physics with a concentration on astrophysics are the proper choices in relation to my desired career path. I suppose I'm leaning...

Thank you Marcus. I definitely don't think any of it as boring. I just began my first semester in college. Majoring in physics with a concentration on astrophysics and cosmology. (not easy at all of course, but I've never had so much fun within a classroom setting, which may sound "nerdy"...

I don't know. I don't want to speculate or theorize but I truly believe the bubble of the universe existed before the Big-Bang. I imagine space as an aether of dark-fluid. The one dominating force would probably be the gravitational influence exerted from dark matter, and the dark energy that...

Couldn't space-time and the universe itself have been around before the Big-Bang? Because if the big-bang was the creation of everything within an existing universe all the physics and properties of matter, energy, mass, gravitation etc. should still retain the exact same properties as if the...

So basically without a universe to have laws there would be no laws to break?

If the first law of thermodynamics states you can't get something from nothing then how does Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow break that law to put forward the argument that the Universe can and will create itself out of nothing due to a proposed law of gravity? I began reading 'The Grand...

I apologize about the speculations on that post. I don't fully condone what I said within that post either lol, I was just having fun with the topic by creating quick, possible scenarios to engage conversation since I am new to the site. I should have read the rules in-depth, I didn't know...

I definitely agree, although, on the micro scale the laws of physics completely changes. There are macro objects within the universe such as black holes (not directly observable of course, but macro none the less) where the laws of physics break down, but breaking down and having a separate set...

I agree to you on certain aspects micromass. One should keep an open-mind when it comes to theories and not simply accept one or the other without attempting to prove or disprove them both first. Can we say 'Einstein and Bohr'? They both had separate theories and beliefs about wave/particles...

Sorry if I posted too much on this topic. I posted before reading the other responses and noticed everyone is trying to keep it simple. I will do this when possible from now on and not get too technical unless asked to. lol :)

You are absolutely right about why physics, astronomy, and cosmology are interesting! :) If we had all the answers already I'm sure I would simply not study the subject because the mystery would be gone. One belief is also the quantum mechanics comparison. Quantum theory predicts that every...

I really enjoyed reading your open-minded answers. I truly believe this way about space-time as well and no-matter how many studies, lectures, or shows I watch about the Big-Bang, I can't help but nod my head everytime someone says, "Everything, including space and time was creating in the...
